I'm actually the one who asked Al about this test hood. It seems like
it's a SCSI connector that connects the control lines to the data lines.
I've added some code which emulates this in software and the ROM said
'test hood connected' after the HP98265A message, and waited 1 minute on
boot. The 300 Test software also passed all checks. I'll verify that on
real hardware, and post the connections.
